I happened to be in the same situation with a smaller instance and mods concluded it's irreversible. I can't use them with a clients that doesn't support these future changes, and it's like a month since that happened. Hope your problem can be resolved, but it's on admins automatically updating servers and Lemmy distribution channel owners making and pushing such updates without a notice.
I don't know how 'irreversible' it might be in this particular situation, but I've had to fall back to one of my alt accounts on another instance. I'm not sure how sensible it is to stay on a smaller instance where the admins think it's clever to deploy a pre-release server version to production without notice, testing, or a rollback strategy
It was something to do with database reformating into a new state iirc.
Smaller instances aren't targeted by DDOS and trash posting for one. When Lemmyworld was down, I figured out I'd like more accounts so at least one of them works.
It obviously has risks of admins being less numerous, experienced and sometimes having that as their hobby project. But without them there's no fediverse, there should be more interconnected instances so one major one can't become the next Reddit with it's stupid decisions.
